December Read Aloud Lessons K, 1st - Christmas Activities - Christmas Crafts

These December Read Aloud lessons and Christmas activities are perfect for the month.

This bundle includes read aloud activities and Christmas crafts for the books Olive the Other Reindeer, Ninjabread Man, Sneezy the Snowman, Hurry Santa, and Snowmen at Christmas. 

The books and accompanying activities are great for discussing engaging holiday themes about Christmas while also supporting your students as you cover reading comprehension standards.

We pride ourselves on creating lessons that cover reading standards and help your students dive deeply into the text while falling in love with the story and characters. We spent years researching and refining our read aloud lesson plan for young learners.

How do our read aloud lessons work?

Each week's lessons focus on one book and will guide you through 3-5 days of reading lessons. Our detailed lesson plans include answer keys and samples. They are so easy to follow, you could even leave them for a substitute.

Each day, students will have a different purpose for revisiting and talking about the text. Speaking and listening are at the heart of interactive reading, therefore, they are incorporated throughout the lesson as students talk about the text and answer comprehension questions in a whole group or with partners. After reading, revisiting, and discussing the text each day, students complete a response to text activity. At the end of the week, students work on a writing prompt and craftivity.

Each book’s lesson plan includes: 

• Detailed lesson plans with samples
• Comprehension questions with answer keys 
• Response to text activities or graphic organizers (differentiated)
• Writing Prompt
• Craftivity 
• Bulletin Board Titles
• Graphic organizers pre-loaded to Google Slides and Seesaw

Prep is quick and easy.  Gather the books, print the lessons and corresponding activities, and you’re ready to teach engaging read aloud lesson plans for 5 weeks!
